Eventually found out how to do this as there was a customize feature on the HTC Magic. The solution is to do it through Google Contacts and then synchronize the contacts back to the phone. Simple - pity no one at HTC Support seemed to know.

How can I get the vanilla (Nexus style) contacts and dialer on my Desire? It can store custom labels in even phone contacts. I had flashed to a LeeDroid 2.1 ROM earlier and noticed that it had the vanilla contacts and dialer in addition to the normal Desire Sense one. So I know it's possible. Lekky has also a link to the Nexus gallery app, so this gives me even more confidence that the contacts and dialer app must be available somewhere too.

View 28 Replies View RelatedI've been having fun customizing the look of my phone and getting more and more out of it. Recently I've been making custom shortcuts as I like having different icons. What I don't like is that there's a label on the Icon. The icon pack I am currently using is Manups Simple Word. What happens is when I create a Shortcut to the market for example the Icon shows in text Market Stock and then beneath it the Label Market. I don't like that if read together it becomes Market Stock Market
Is there a way I can remove the labels from shortcuts? I am currently running Froyo with LauncherPro using folder organizer and I also have anycut. The solution must not involve rooting or using any paid apps as well I can't get paid apps here. I read here Is it possible to strip HTC Sense UI from the HTC Desire? that Helix has the option to remove labels from shortcuts. I'll rather not move to Helix and stay with launcherpro.
Just wanted to ask if anyone knows of a good solution for bookmark labels or folders? Honestly, great web browsing is the biggest selling point for android, and no decent browser apart from opera supports that basic function (sadly, safari has it licked, bookmark manager on the iPhone is great). I've tried some market apps, but they either don't recognize bookmarks from dolphin or just plain suck.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to add a label to each of the points on a map that I've created. Setting the "title" and "snippet" values of the OverlayItem don't seem to automatically cause these labels to appear however. I would've thought this would be a pretty simple and common requirement. Am I missing something? Can someone tell me if there's a function that does this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am starting with listactivity. I was able to create a simple list view using ListActivity and Arrayadapters. The problem before me now is i need a screen which contains a few labels and fields and under them a listview. how to go about it ? moreover whats the difference between layout and activity ? how well should i use them ? Until now I thought one application one activity, but after looking Apisamples i found myself wrong. A few correct links will help. is "busy programmers' guide to android dev" a good book ? Can I get a softcopy from somebody?

View 7 Replies View RelatedHello everyone. Is there a feature or a check box that I am missing that allows you to turn off the little text labels beneath the application icons on the home screen? I'm kind of doubtful, but a search did not return an answer. It would certainly clean up the home screen. Plus a lot of labels are "cut off" due to length and that is just annoying.
View 10 Replies View RelatedWe have used a Google domain and provided mail (gmail) for some time. Have quite a number of labels in use to file things. Only a few labels I need synced to my EVO. Inbox is obvious and is at the top of the list so easy to find etc. Problem is that the 4 or 5 others that I use regularly are all down the list in alpha order. Is there anyway to reorder the list of labels to bring the sync'd ones to the top or to filter so non-synced labels do not show in the list? Or perhaps shortcuts I could build on my home page to go directly to other than inbox?

Why did gmail create these labels? All of them are empty so can I just delete them? I use the gmail app and not the HTC one.
I know you can do it with launcherpro, but I want to keep the sense launcher. I'm rooted so I can modify something if I need to. I'm hoping theres just another app I can download to do what I what.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am building a MapView and I want my custom overlay items to display the name of the location they are marking when the user taps them, like the Android Maps app. I setup the onTap listener and the floating TextView to hold the location name. I still need to set it up so that it redraws the label when the user moves the map, etc. Anyway, I am wondering if I am reinventing the wheel here. Is there a built-in method I am unaware of? I would think that most implementations of MapView have labels. For reference, my implementation so far: in map xml:
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/mapBubbleWrap" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
andoid:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentTop="true">
<TextView android:id="@+id/mapBubble" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:visibility="gone"
android:background="#ffffff" android:textColor="#ff0000"/>
</LinearLayout>
in my extended ItemizedOverlay:
public boolean onTap(int index) { this.setFocus( mOverlays.get(index) ); return true; }
in my Activity onFocus:
public void onFocusChanged( ItemizedOverlay overlay, OverlayItem item ) {
if( item != null) { mapBubble.setText(item.getTitle());
Point newPoint = mapView.getProjection().toPixels(item.getPoint(), null);
mapBubbleWrap.setPadding(newPoint.x, newPoint.y-10, 0, 0);
mapBubble.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); } }
I was a bit disappointed with the included email client on my magic (UK vodafone), by which I don't mean the gmail app but the "other one". It seems it doesn't like to mark emails as read. Anyway, I thought, since the gmail app is pretty neat and I have a long-time gmail account I'd use it to manage all my email accounts via POP (hotmail and yahoo and one other gmail).
I've set this up fine and online, via my desktop and I've set up a different label for each account with different colors. (i.e. Hotmail = red, yahoo = green) However, when I view my emails on the magic, all the labels are the incorrect colour. In fact they are all blue. Why is this?
I don't want to see the text labels, but I want everything else to stay the same. I don't want to use Home++ or anything else that fundamentally changes the Android experience. Could an app be made to do this?

View 7 Replies View RelatedUnless I'm crazy I remember being able to create custom field labels for the phone and email info in the original people app (all contacts are Google type) on my Incredible. If I created them on my phone; they showed up in my Gmail contacts. If I created them in Gmail contacts; they showed up on phone.
Now all I see on the people app label options are the standard ones with no option to edit/create a cutom as there was before. Is this the case after 2.2? If so I'd rather have 2.1 back. I loved that feature! Anyone else see this on their DINC?
I am new to Android. I plan to check for new mails on Google Mail (GMail) that are archived to their labels. Are there any examples that'll show how to do this (Gmail API, etc.?)? I searched a lot but found no helpful information about this, hope someone can help. What do I need?
Is there a way to check (with push) whether there are new mails in a label. I think the standard Gmail Android app could not do this!?

View 36 Replies View RelatedI just installed Folder Organizer Lite on my Desire in order to be able to change the icons on my home screen. It worked like a charm, but now I have a question. I am able to edit the name of the icons, for example I have changed Advanced Task Killer to ATK, but I would like to have the option to not have any text at all. When I go to alter the text as usual and just delete the text, nothing changes. So does anyone out there know how to completely remove text from underneath icons?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI designed the user interface of my app on the emulator and then I installed it on the Nexus one. For some reason the text boxes, labels buttons etc. have shrink in size. It looks as if the view has been zoomed out on the phone. If I arrange it correctly on the phone the objects don't fit on the emulator. Has anyone faced this? Is there some setting to have consistency between the look of the emulator and Nexus One.
